The Battalion Commander Assessment Program (BCAP)
In January 2020, over 800 majors and lieutenant colonels from all over the Army converged on Fort Knox to take part in a five-day program to select the next battalion commanders for the Army (beginning in FY2021). This process replaces the former selection process which was based solely on rank and individual reviews of past performance. From now on, more consideration will be given to an individual officer's personal preference, as part of 25 other selection criteria.[1] "Promotion boards will now be able to see almost all substantiated adverse information".[2] The promotion boards will be able to see anything in an officer's human resource record. Officers are encouraged to become familiar with their human resource record, and to file rebuttals to adverse information.[2]
- Depending on the success of this initiative, other assessment programs could be instituted as well, for promotion to sergeants major,[3] and for assessment of colonels for command.[4]
